I see the world out there, got its rhythm and its rules, Trying to fit you in, like a pawn in the pool. But the word is a hammer, and the message is bold: Give your body as a sacrifice, more precious than gold. Don't be pressed in the mold, don't walk their same track, Let your mind be renewed, ain't no turning back! You gotta test and approve what the Lord's will has said, A life transformed, not living among the dead. I plead with you, brothers, by the mercy of God, Be a living sacrifice, on the broken path you've trod. Holy and pleasing, that’s your worship, your true and honest measure, A spiritual devotion, more than earthly treasure. Be a sacrifice, living sacrifice! We got different gifts now, different grace in the light, Each piece in the body, doing what is right. If you preach, preach the message; if you serve, serve with grace, Don't think higher than you should, find your humble place. If you give, give with open hands, and do it with zeal, And let love be sincere, that's how the wounded heal. One body in Christ, every hand and every heart, Play your small part, right from the very start. Let love be sincere, hate what is wrong! Be devoted to one another, where do we belong? Share with the Lord's people, be quick to give aid, Practice hospitality, let your kindness be displayed! Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, Be faithful in prayer for every nation! I plead with you, brothers, by the mercy of God, Be a living sacrifice, on the broken path you've trod. Holy and pleasing, that’s your worship, your true and honest measure, A spiritual devotion, more than earthly treasure. Be a sacrifice, living sacrifice! Bless those who persecute you, don't curse them, just bless... Live in harmony, don't be haughty, just bend... Don't be overcome by evil, let the good win the fight... Do all you can to live at peace, and walk in the light...
